Manuel:
If you go to the very beginning (the first paragraph) of page 483 of the
EnSight manual (
http://vis.lbl.gov/NERSC/Software/ensight/docs82/UserManual.pdf), you will
find out that the EnSight Gold format (unlike EnSight6) adopts the
block-based point indexing scheme as VTK employs.

> (per-block) basis (the one currently adopted by VTK for
> vtkMultiBlockDataSet). The latter scheme is scalable for maintaining large
> datasets and is flexible in that individual blocks may be conveniently
> extracted from the original multiblock dataset.
